"Traitor Among Us" plot thread
First of all, apologies if this has been covered already or if the answer is obvious. I couldn't give this movie my full attention through most of it, so I may have missed the explanation.
And with that fun intro out of the way...
What in the hell happened to the whole "Who's the traitor?" thread? This facet of the story played out like this:
1. They discover someone's infiltrated their intranet system and monitoring their progress on their experiments.
2. Soon after, a drug company comes in and confiscates all of their materials.
3. They accuse the new girl of being the one who leaked info of their experiments to the company. She denies it.
4. They hypothesize that the drug company bought out the company holding their grant contract simply to acquire this drug.
So, this mammoth drug company either somehow knows what a tiny group of med school students are working on in some random school and figured out how to access their intranet, all externally, or there really is a person on the inside who is working for/with this company to supply them with this info. The first option is implausible, and if the second is the case, then who the hell was it? They start accusing the girl, she says it's not her, and then the entire idea is forgotten for the rest of the movie. I kept expecting a crazy revelation, like it was the main guy all along, desperate to do something with his work, but ultimately, nada.
"Stwike him, Centuwion ... vewy Wuffwy!"
